There once lived a girl named Ishita Sharma. She was a very happy and playful girl. She was not brilliant but good in her studies. She never had a bad mood. Her mother and father were very happy with her. Ishita’s father was a cameraman and used to travel over the world and shoot cricket, football, volleyball, tennis and other sports. Ishita used to go to La Martiniere School for Girls where she made new friends every second day.

It was a breezy day of August 10th and Ishita was badly ill. Ten to twelve days passed by and Ishita got better. On August 24th Ishita and her mother went to visit a friend of Ishita. Evening came and the two friends went down to play. Her friend, Akash went to play cricket and left Ishita alone. Poor Ishita went to play in the park. After a while Ishita thought of climbing on the monkey climber. She climbed it for a few seconds and CRACK!!!!She fell down, puff! Tears started coming in her eyes. Ishita was unconscious for a few minutes. Then slowly she went and sat on a bench. She didn’t even have the energy to call on someone but just cry silently. 5-10 minutes passed, she sat there unable to move.

Suddenly a women came and asked her “Where do you come from? Which block?”

Reply rushed out of Ishita’s mouth.The lady grabbed her hand and took her to her mother. Everyone was shocked when Ishita told them what had happened to her. “We have no time to waste. I’m a doctor, allright, but right now we need a X-Ray. Possibly, Ishita, this hand of your is broken.” ‘This is bad enough’ Ishita said to god. Then suddenly she cried as loudly as ever. Three neighbors rushed out of their houses. One of them was a very old and well-known doctor. “ Go to the doctor right away, this is serious.” He said. Everyone went to the car and filled it up. Suddenly Ishita’s mother remembered her old friend, Mr. D. Banerjee.

He said to bring her to Apollo Clinic where he was in charge. He then quickly sent them to the X-Ray room. When the picture got printed they tod Ishita that her hand was not only broken but was also suffering from multiple fracture. ‘Is this not bad enough?’ Ishita asked god. So they went to Wood Lands Hospital where she was admitted. The next day she had an operation which went successfully. She could not go to school for three months. She was very depressed and sad. Then she had another operation and then she was totally fit and fine. Then she went to school and all her fun, laughter, and happiness found their ways back. Four months passed by and Ishita forgot about the accident and went to climb on the monkey climber again and as word has it, she passed it through and jumped down happily. Now she had a brand new story to tell everyone. ‘This is really not bad!’ she said to god.
